Of the fines and other profits of the county courts (origin- ally, when those courts had superior juris- diction, before other courts were created) two parts were reserved to the king, and a third part or penny to the earl of the county. See Kennett, Paroch. Antiq. 418.

A third part of the profits of fines and penalties imposed at the county court, which was among the perquisites enjoyed by the earl.
